Add Three More to the List!

Hooray! A little more than one year after the successful launch of ASPCA Mission: Orange, our initiative to curb the needless euthanasia of the country’s healthy, adoptable pets, three new communities have been chosen to take part in a year-long intensive learning experience called Join ASPCA Mission: Orange. Buncombe County (Asheville), NC, Cleveland, OH, and Oklahoma City, OK, will work together with experts from the ASPCA to develop and implement programs specifically designed to increase live release rates—adoptions, transfers and returns to owners—of animals in their shelters. At the end of the year, those who show significant progress will have a chance to apply to become ASPCA Mission: Orange Target Communities.

Check out our ASPCA Mission: Orange pages to find out how shelters in your community can become part of our initiatives.
